What To Expect
Hanbok is a Korean word that refers to traditional Korean clothing. Hanbok is one of the most beautiful fashion styles in the world and has been beloved for over 2,000 years. You may have seen the hanbok in your favorite Korean drama, or your favorite K-Pop star wearing hanbok and wondered: what are they wearing? What kind of fashion style is hanbok? This is your chance to try it out!
Gyeongbokgung Palace
Wearing a beautiful and luxurious hanbok, you enter Gyeongbokgung Palace as a person of the Joseon Dynasty. Become the main character of a K-drama and take photos that will be memories for a lifetime! A historical guide will explain the history of 'Gyeongbokgung Palace' and take a tour around it. Watch Korea's magnificent Gyeongbokgung Palace Changing of the Guard Ceremony! Built in 1395, Gyeongbokgung Palace is commonly referred to as the Northern Palace because its location is furthest north when compared to the neighboring palaces of Changdeokgung (Eastern Palace) and Gyeonghuigung (Western Palace). Gyeongbokgung Palace is arguably the most beautiful, and remains the largest of all five palaces.

5.00Very organized tour and able to see all the main attractions in the Palace area. Our tour guide Jane was very energetic, positive and helpful. Only feedback is that her English was not great so was hard to understand especially when we wanted a history of the palace.
Excellent tour experience

5.00Gina explained everything in detail and never showed a single sign of fatigue despite the inclement weather warning. The snack we tasted was really unique. She even guided us on different things to do around the city after our tour.

5.00We took this tour in mid-January 2024 and this is a long overdue review. Our tour guide was Miss Jade and she was very knowledgeable of the history and culture. She has outstanding communication skills and was very patient and accommodating. Our tour sort of became a private tour as my husband and I were the only participants on that day. We were able to visit a tea house in Bukchon that was having a pop-up exhibit of Gyrongsong Creature. The bonus was the great pictures Miss Jade took of us because it was a mild and sunny January morning. Highly recommend this tour and ask for Miss Jade!!!

4.00Great tour if you want to dress up but not much of the history was explained . You could quite easily do this yourself . The guide did not explain anything in the museum either .
